    ok, this is my rig:

    Case ( Raidmax 268 ATX Mid-Tower Case w/350W Power Supply Black )
    Power Supply ( Standard Case Power Supply )
    Processor ( AMD® Athlon-64 3000+ CPU w/ Hyper Transport Technology )
    Processor Cooling ( Certified CPU Fan and Heatsink + 2 Extra Case Fans )
    Motherboard ( Albatron K8X800 Pro-II Via-K8T800+8237 Chipsets w/7.1 Sound, LAN, IEEE-1394, USB 2.0 8x AGP Motherboard )
    Memory ( 1024 MB [512MB X2] DDR-400 PC3200 Memory Module Major Brand )
    Video Card ( Nvidia Geforce-FX 5500 256MB w/DVI + TV Out 8x AGP Video )
    Hard Drive ( 120 GB HARD DRIVES 120 GB 7200 RPM Ultra ATA-100 Hard Drive )
    CD-RW/DVD-RW Drive ( NEC ND-2510A Dual Format/Dual Layer 8X DVD±R/±RW + CD-R/RW Drive Black )
    Sound Card ( 3D Wave Stereo Sound Onboard )
    Network Card ( 10/100 Network Onboard )

    Meter Display ( Thermal Temperature LCD Display Black )
    Flash Media Reader/Writer ( 6-In-1 Internal Flash Media Card Reader/Writer Black )
    USB Port ( Build-in USB 2.0 Ports )
    Operation System ( MS Windows XP Professional Edition )


    but as you can see i'm missing some components to make it a true machine. so, i've researched and these are the components that i believe i need to make this system complete:

    Speakers (Logitech 5.1 Speakers)
    PSU (Thermaltake Silent PurePower 560W)
    Heatsink and Fan (Thermaltake PIPE101 3 in 1 CPU Cooler)
    TV Tuner (Hauppauge PCI TV Tuner Card)
    CD/DVD-Rom Drive (Asus Black 16X DVD-ROM Drive)

    so, the components above are definite buys within the next 6 months. whereas these listed below are the maybes:

    Arctic Silver 5
    VANTEC Nexus Fan Controller Panel
    COOLMAX Aluminum Filters

    all in all i'm just looking for opinions on the stuff that i am planning on buying and whether or not you all think it will be beneficial to it, and as for the maybes that i have the arctic silver 5 would probably be the most beneficial.

    so shoot!
